Whether you are interested in the mysterious history of the Isle of Lewis (with its Standing Stones, crannogs and Uig chessman), the troubled history of Belfast, the whiskies of Oban and/or Cork, having a wee bit of haggis in Glascow or a pint of Guinness in  Dublin, or want to experience a bit of the extremely independent and unique Welsh culture, this cruise can fulfill your desires.

Of course there will be a number of unique Food & Wine events (and maybe one  more focused on the incredible history of the British Isles) that the cruise lines that claim to have food and wine cruises could not possible arrange.  They have to make arrangement for hundreds of passengers; not a dozen or so special guests.  (That is why I have to limit the number of guests on my cruise!)

   

For example, the last time we visited Cork we met with world famous chef, Darina Allen, at her Balleymaloe Cookery School (with tea and pastries, of course, as well as receiving an autographed cook book) and then we toured her organic farm with her son…and that was after enjoying a truly wonderful traditional (but gourmet) pub lunch. Maybe this time we will visit Jamison’s Distillery for a private tasting unlike anything you may have dreamed about???  

As another example, while visiting Bordeaux, France, I arranged  private tours and wine tastings at Chateau Margaux and Lynch-Bage with a wine and food paring course followed by a lunch at Cafe Lavinal in between the tastings.

On our cruise there will, in addition to the Goldring Travel shore events, be a Private Shopping with the Chef, 

a Private Food & Wine Tasting prepared onboard with  Seabourn’s Executive Chef and Sommelier and, of course, a surprise or two.  (Didn’t someone mention kilts?)

Because this cruise is so unique to Seabourn the demand is very high it is sure to sell out quickly, so do not delay.  Of course, if the price of the cruise does drop, Goldring Travel will get you that lower fare, and we never charge a change or cancellation fee, so delaying your booking to see if the price drops only assures you of two things:  It truly reduces the chance of you getting the suite you want and it may even result in you paying a higher fare if the category you desire sells out or Seabourn raises the prices.  (And unlike booking in the UK or some other countries, there is no immediate penalty or charge if you change your mind.  Right up until 121 days prior to the sailing you can cancel and receive every penny of your deposit back.)
